• Lastly on the agenda was Ordinance 2025-84, which is to add a part-time clerical support position to the Service Department. The position will assist current administrative assistant in handling residence calls and workload, and Council agreed it was necessary support for that very busy department. The Committee favorably recommended it to Council by a vote of 3-0, and Mr. President, the Finance Committee concluded at 8:10 p.m. Thank you. Council President Brossard: Thank you. Councilwoman Gilchrist, Chairwoman of the Streets and Transportation Committee, do you have a report this evening? Streets and Transportation Committee Councilwoman Gilchrist: I do not have a report. Thank you, Mr. President. Council President Brossard: Thank you. Councilman Madden, Chairman of the Environmental Control Committee, do you have a report this evening? Environmental Control Committee Councilman Madden: Yes, Mr. President. Thank you. The Environmental Control Committee met virtually on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at 8:52 p.m. Present were Committee Members Madden, Marrie, and Scarl, and Councilwoman Gilchrist, Councilmen Limpert, and Shymske. All members of the administration were also present. On the agenda were Ordinance 2025-35 and Ordinance 2025- 36. • Ordinance 2025-35 is an Ordinance amending and restating Section 159.04 of Chapter 159 (Arts Commission) of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted in order to provide review standards for creation of murals on private property. Director Upton shared that this legislation came about after the tragedy involving Julian Wood and the creation of a mural in his honor that was created on the side of a building. These Ordinances are an attempt to establish guidelines for the creation of art within the city and the Arts Commission role in oversight of such art. A discussion led by Councilwoman Gilchrist determined that the wording should be amended to eliminate the private property designation in order to not infringe on residential property. Both pieces of legislation will be amended to make that change. The Committee voted 3-0 to recommend 2025-35 to all of Council following the amendments. • Ordinance 2025-36 is an Ordinance establishing and adopting new Section 159.05 of Chapter 159 (Arts Commission) of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted in order to provide review standards for creation of murals on private property. The same discussion took place regarding this legislation to eliminate the private property designation that was deemed appropriate in this Ordinance. The Committee voted 3-0 to recommend 2025-36 to all of Council following the amendments. The meeting concluded at 9:09 p.m. and that concludes my report.
